New Review~~Served by Maya Hughes

Synopsis

I can’t let anyone else die because of me…

Roxanne “Rox” Weller has had it tough, but she’s found a place she belongs, as the head chef in LA’s hottest new bar. Nothing stands in the way of her living the life she’s always dreamed of. That is until her psychopathic ex finds her and her dream life comes crashing down. Her domineering new boss is determined to protect her, but can Rox allow him to put his life at risk for her? Or will she have to keep running?

Tired of the tech scene, Liam Lavery has been trying to juggle the craziness of running a popular bar, keeping his brother’s schemes to get him to come back to their company at bay, and trying to keep the beautiful chef in his new bar safe. Since he took over The Bramble, he’s been trying to figure out how to win Rox over, whilst also resisting her tempting food. He knows there’s danger out there for her. But she won’t let him in, and he’s determined to find out the truth behind her sad, dark eyes and protect her at any cost. Whether she likes it or not.

When Rox disappears, Liam will stop at nothing to save the woman he loves and have her in his arms where she belongs.

Kerry’s 3.5 Review

Maya Hughes grabbed my interest with Mixed, so I couldn’t wait to dive in to Served! We get a glimpse of Rox and Liam’s characters. This is their story and what a story it is!

Rox hasn’t had a great upbringing. And she hasn’t had the greatest past relationships. She is finally finding her place at Bramble as head chef, but secrets of her past might be coming back to haunt her future. Liam has been bored at the Doppel. He wants to start a new adventure, so when his best friend Mark has a preposition for him he jumps at it!

Maya has written strong- willed characters that have you falling for Liam! He wears his heart on his sleeve, but is still guarded. Rox is bull-head and is always taking care of herself. She plays a good front with everyone, but she’s emotional mess. This is a second chance romance. The connection between these characters is hot between the sheets and the kitchen. I enjoyed reading these characters. It’s full of suspense. The banter was great between them and it lightened up the book.
